Hey it's me Destin. Welcome to Smarter Every Day, and, a blood vessel
exploded in my eye. It's pretty cool. It's called a subconjunctival
hemorrhage. I think it's pretty neat. Anyway, so today I'm gonna show you
a little experiment that I'm doing, right before we go to the hospital and have a baby.
I am, taking high speed video of a DSLR camera shutter. DSLR is Digital
Single Lens Reflex, and this is a high speed camera, a Phantom
that I'm pointing directly at the DSLR. I take the lens and the cover off here,
and you can see underneath there's a mirror, and the mirror jumps out of the way, and then
exposes the shutter which then, exposes the sensor. And there's
two types of sensors in modern DSLR cameras. There's a CCD which is a Charge Coupled Device
and there's also a CMOS sensor. A CMOS is a Complementary Metal
Oxide Semiconductor sensor. So I'll explain what those are in a later video but for now,
enjoy some wicked cool high speed footage, and
sorry about the eye. eugh. It happens. Anyway, have a good one. We're going
to have a baby. Bye.
